Hi everyone.
What is going on with modification these days? I scanned the mod forum, but it was hard to tell what had been done over the last few months.
For those of you wondering, my health is stabilizing, but not back to where it was a year ago. "A lot has happened, but nothing has changed" would be a pretty good synopsis of the last few months. I am back to working on my mods more, about like I was before things got so bad last year, so I guess that is an improvement.
Btw, I have just posted the latest version of my MTW mod, and I think it's getting to the point where you can really see a diference in the game, and MTW is an awesome game to begin with.
Anyway, the main reason for this thread was to find out what you guys have been up to. So, let's dish.
I can't get over all the smileys that are available. The party scene in one post in IW's birthday thread was great.
Wouter, did you get the email I sent you a couple pf weeks ago? It may have gotten automatically deleted as spam because of the subject line. There was nothing important in the message, but I just wondered when I didn't hear from you.
Also, I sent Markos an email a few days ago, and I haven't received a reply from him, either. I asked him to mention my latest mod update in the news. MTW is not offically supported by Apolyton, but I feel certain that a lot of the people who frequent here also play MTW.
I also suggested that he may want to add the game to the list here, even though it isn't a civ game. The official and fan sites for the game are generally very poor. The only one that is decent is the org, where I post the mod thread and occasionally send in the mod for posting, but I don't think they get a lot of traffic. I have not had much success generating discussions of the mod.
The official site seems to get more posters, but their forums are about ten years out of date, and they don't post any fan mods.
Also, Mark, would you change the name of my site's link on the front page? I want to drop the CtP1/2 part and replace it with "WesW's Medieval Mod Page", if you can find the room. If not, something like the "Med Mod Series", if you have to keep it on one line.
Finally, you may want to email some of the site admins again to see if their hosted sites are still active. I hate to say it, but I don't know if Don Blevins is still alive (admin of CtP Maps, which hasn't been updated in over two years). I suddenly stopped hearing from him about two years ago, shortly after he said that his cancer had gotten much worse, and that he was going to have to severely restrict his activity. Cancer has killed almost his whole family, both sides; over a dozen people.
Well, I hate to end on that down note, but I look forward to hearing from all you old-timers out there.

It's very good news that your health is stabilizing, let's hope it will continue to improve... 
Peter Triggs had contact with him long after me though, maybe he can bring you up-to-date...
